Microbicidal activity of a new silver-containing polymer, SPI-ARGENT II.

Abstract:

:The survival of three bacterial species and Candida albicans was studied on SPI-ARGENT II. The immediate recovery from silver-impregnated polymer and control polymer (1 cm2) was approximately 10(6) to 10(7) microorganisms. After incubation (37 degreesC) and neutralization of silver with horse serum (5%), surviving organisms were recovered. The survival of the microorganisms on the polymer was not found to be influenced by the silver implantation.

  • Dosing regimen matters: the importance of early intervention and rapid attainment of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target.

    abstract::To date, the majority of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) discussions have focused on PK/PD relationships evaluated at steady-state drug concentrations. However, a concern with reliance upon steady-state drug concentrations is that it ignores events occurring while the pathogen is exposed to intermittent subopt...
